How close is your relationship with your pet? Do you let them sleep in your bed or even kiss them goodnight? While bonding with your pet can feel comforting and affectionate, experts suggest that being too close might pose health risks you haven’t considered.
Health Risks Associated with Pets
About 250 diseases are classified as zoonotic, meaning they can spread between animals and humans. Over 100 of these diseases directly result from interactions between pets and their owners.
Here are some reasons why sharing a bed with your pets might not be advisable:
Cleanliness Issues: Pets frequently spend time outdoors, rolling in dirt or grass, interacting with other animals, or investigating unclean areas. This increases the chance of bringing fleas, ticks, bacteria, or even traces of feces into your home and bed.

Disturbed Sleep Patterns: Pets, particularly cats, may have nocturnal habits that disrupt your sleep. Their nighttime activity could frequently interrupt your rest, leaving you tired the next day.
Habit Formation and Difficulty Changing: Once pets get accustomed to sleeping beside you, breaking the habit later—such as when a new family member arrives—can be very challenging. Your pets may become distressed, scratching doors or barking until they’re allowed back into your bed.
